Have you tried growing potatoes with your own manure? Or maybe destroying billion-dollar NASA equipment? Or... possibly trying to survive more than 500 Sols on Mars? Well Mark Watney/Matt Damon has done all of that, and much more! The Martian is about Mark Watney, an astronaut part of the Ares 3 mission crew to study Mars, who had been stranded like ‘Robinson Crusoe’ except for the fact that he had to worry about dying from storms, equipment failure and starvation for every second of his life. As well as that, he has to cope with the fact that he is about 50 Million Killometres away from his home, Earth.This Science-Fiction movie is packed with thrills, humour, tension and relief. Also, award winning movie can be enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike. Overall I expecially liked the book adaptation (except for the surgery part), the filming site, which was in Jordan and I give it a solid ‘4 and a Half Star Rating’.
